Review

While the facts of Newton's life are covered in this book, they are done in a simplified manner appropriate for the intended office. Newton's life from his birth as a very tiny baby who was not expected to live, to a respected college professor is covered. Kevin Hawkes' illustrations do a good job helping young readers to understand the material. This would be a good choice for budding young scientists and researchers.

Overall Book Score: good
